A closet containing 120 pieces of clothing is made
of sweaters, jeans, and skirts. The ratio of sweaters
to jeans is 8:3, and the ratio of jeans to skirts is
3:4. If 4 of the pairs of jeans were taken out of the
closet and were replaced by 4 skirts, what will be
the new ratio of jeans to skirts?

5/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define:

The following three equations are established from the question:

sw + j + sk = 120

sw/j = 8/3

j/sk = 3/4 or sk/j = 4/3

Dividing the first equation by j, we get:

sw/j + j/j + sk/j = 120/j

8/3 + 1 + 4/3 = 120/j

5 = 120/j

j = 120/5 = 24

sw = 24*8/3 = 64

sk = 24*4/3 = 32

After the replacement the new number of jeans and skirts are:

j' = 24 - 4 = 20

sk' =  32 + 4 = 36

the new ratio of jeans to skirts is:

j'/sk' = 20/36 = 5/9

the median here is 25. your lowest value is 14 and highest value is 48. to find the third quartile, find the medium number in between 25 and 48 which would be 42 i believe.

0.16 or 16%

step-by-step explanation:

lets take a coin for example.

if you toss it twice, it has a 1/4 chance of landing on heads both times because 1/2 * 1/2 is 1/4.

with the cards, the chance of picking dog is 0.4. having two people pick one is like picking a card twice in a row. so 0.4 * 0.4 is 0.16, or 16%
